Two patients with chronic sialoadenitis had features of Bartter's and
Gitelman's syndrome, respectively. The main complaints were leg
paraesthesiae and acute arthritis. A good response to oral K+
supplementation, allopurinol and low-dose prednisone was obtained. The
features of Sjogren's-related renal diseases are reviewed.
